Make a Difference in our Community!
Support a PADS Homeless Shelter in Waukegan with
Food Donations or Onsite Service

PADS (Providing Advocacy, Dignity, and Shelter) is one of First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest’s most significant Lake County ministries.  On the 2nd and 5th Tuesdays of each month from October through May, we provide and serve food for dinner, breakfast and prepare bag lunches at an overnight shelter in a Waukegan church that serves 44 homeless men. 

 One team of volunteers prepares or purchases food and beverages for the dinner meal and delivers it to our church on the day of service for delivery to the Waukegan site.  Three additional teams of volunteers go onsite: one team sets up and serves the dinner meal, a second team provides and an overnight presence at the shelter, and a third team arrives in the morning to prepare and serve a hot breakfast.

 You can be a part of this important and rewarding ministry on one or many of our services dates either by preparing or providing food for the dinner meal or by volunteering to work onsite. Our guests are truly thankful for our support and we believe you will be richly blessed by your involvement.  Sign-up sheets are posted on the bulletin board in the main hallway; you may email us as well. For more information or to be added to our email list of volunteers contact: moderator@firstchurchlf.org
